1.0 Input 1.1 Design Soil Parameters: 0.0 0.0 Ground Level

The document provides soil parameters and pile details for calculating the vertical capacity of a pile. It describes 4 soil layers with varying densities and properties from 0 to 7 meters deep. The pile is 0.116 meters in diameter, 7 meters long, fixed at the top, and made of grade 2.4 concrete. Calculations are shown for determining the ultimate skin resistance in each soil layer by considering the cohesion, lateral earth pressure, unit weight, overburden pressure, and wall friction angle for each layer. The total skin resistance is the sum of the resistances calculated for each layer.
